Characters/pairings of interest:
NB: this is an offer for a remix of an existing fic, not a brand-new fic! (If you're not sure what a remix is, I explain more below.) I am still filling in these "interests/dislikes" boxes, because they still apply, but if you win this auction, you won't be giving me a traditional prompt -- you'll be giving me an existing fic as a prompt.

I'm really open to anything! I should note, though, that my approach to Margo/Sergei tends toward canon compatible. I am in principle happy to take on canon divergences and AUs, but the stories themselves likely will not be all that happy...

Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
When I'm remixing a fic, the main thing I'm looking for is a thread I can tug on: one that lets me unravel the existing fic such that I can put it back together in a fresh way. I realize this is not an especially actionable description! But mainly the thing I'm looking for is a story with layers, or that offers a couple of different ways in.

Unwilling to address:
I cannot be trusted to deliver a straightforwardly happy ending. It's just not in my skillset. If you want to give me a happy fic to remix that is cool! But please know that my remix will be a lot more ambivalent and ambiguous in its resolution.

Also: although I am happy to consider any fic as the base text for a remix (given the author's permission), I CANNOT PROMISE IN ADVANCE that I will remix the one exact fic you have in mind. It's really difficult to predict what story is going to offer me a way in, and which ones won't. For that reason, I'm going to ask you to offer me 3-5 stories (or more!) that you'd be interested in seeing remixed.

Other notes:
This offer is not for a new fic; this offer is for a remix of an existing fic. In other words, I take a fic of yours (or someone else's, with their permission) and rewrite it in some way. If you're not familiar with fic remixes, here is a general blurb: https://fanlore.org/wiki/Remix

I've used the second portfolio slot to link to the collection of all of my BBC Sherlock remixes; if you know that canon, looking there might be helpful! But as an overview of what a remix by me might look like: I could (and have done, in the past) retell the same story (or a v similar one) from the perspective of a different character, with different knowledge and different priorities and different people they care about; or tell roughly the same story but change a few key details. I once took a Vampire AU -- which drew heavily on the emotional dynamics of S1 Sherlock, but spun its own narrative -- and retold that same narrative, almost beat for beat, but without any vampires or magic and re-translated such that those same dynamics and movements occurred in our own world. I can't promise in advance what I would do; there are lots of different ways to put a twist on the original story, and figuring out what kind of twist it will be is part of the fun for me.

also, pls see note above about giving me multiple prompt fics. (I couldn't fit it in this box!)

Characters/pairings of interest:
Margo Madison is the #1 all-time character of my heart, and yet this show has so many compelling characters that she is the first among a list of equals. I love writing about Molly, and would be deeply excited to write about Aleida, Karen or Tracy. I would be especially excited for a prompt that gave me an opportunity to write about Gordo, either as a PoV character or as another major character. But really, I am interested in writing about just about any main-cast character from the first three seasons, and could certainly be very easily talked into writing about either Irina Morozova or Samantha Massey with the right prompt.

I also have a deep and abiding love for several of the show's most well-developed tertiary characters: Larry Wilson, Bill Strausser, Deke Slayton (and Marge too! Marge Slayton is so interesting), Wayne Cobb. Jimmy Stevens, even!

Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
I'm generally better with canon-compliant or canon-compatible stories, though I would also be really delighted by some sort of AU that rewards interpretive reconciliation work (aka crack treated seriously, I guess.)

Unwilling to address:
I will not* write a story that takes the canonical male-female friendships (e.g. Ed and Danielle, Karen and Wayne) and develops them in a romantic or sexual direction.

probably! it's so hard to say never! people's brains and hearts do weird shit sometimes, and I do love stories about people getting caught off guard by that kind of weird shit. So maybe it's better to say that I am *potentially receptive to this kind of prompt, if and only if it comes under the heading of weird internal wire-crossing.

I'm happy to write about a character hating another character, but I will not write a story in which one or more characters are Just Bad Actually.

Other notes:
I'm hoping we can have a conversation about what I'll write for you! For me, fic is deeply interwoven with interpreting canon, and I think it will help me write (and hopefully be more fun) if we can spend some time hashing through relevant sections of canon together.
